Are We Being Punk’d or are Elon Musk’s Tweets the Real Him?

Elon Musk is a billionaire. Fast cars, fast ladies, and probably fast passes at all theme parks. He could have everything and anything he wanted, including a publicist and PR team!

Alas it seems he has neither! Elon seems to have full
control of his twitter now with limited to no repercussions and things have gotten weird.You would think had gotten the lesson the first time around, but sometimes it takes us a little while to understand that social media isn’t for every single one of your thoughts, especially if you’re a world-renowned scientist like Elon.

After the twitter situationbetween Musk, Azealia Banks, and Grimes Elon seems to have thrown caution to the wind and has put out some funny tweets every day in between his serious posts about Tesla and SpaceX. Musk’s drive is unparalleled, that’s why he is where he is today. That same drive has seemingly made him the human embodiment of the Kanye West “I can not be managed” meme.

After being forced to step down from his position in possibly the worst case of pandering to ever exist, Musk allegedly took acid and said he had secured the funding to have Tesla go private, rounding his dollar amount from $419 to $420. This is said to be “a weed joke” for his girlfriend Grimes, who is 30 years his junior. If that isn’t pandering to the gen z audience I’m not sure what is.

All of that being said, here’s a collection of some of his tweets pandering to a younger audience, but read without any context, much like everyone else does when his tweets pop up on their timelines. Let’s hope he doesn’t delete them.

He makes a valid point, the rocket should be pointier. Why not make it pointier if given the chance?

Thank you for your service Elon, you’ve made many days less insufferable after seeing your tweets. Even if it makes you seem unhinged and got you dethroned, your social media is gold to us regular people.
